Hello!

First post here. We just had our baby girl on July 4th - she’s 6 days old today! It’s been unbelievable so far.

We’ve started trying out some ‘shifts’ so that we each can get 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Definitely feeling more energy after a few straight hours.

So far, I’ve been letting my wife go to sleep around 8 until about 1:30am, when I watch and feed our daughter. Then we co-watch and feed her until after the 4:30am nursing, at which point my wife takes her upstairs and I get a chance to sleep in until about ~9am.

However, I’m heading back to work next week, and will need to start my work day around 8/8:30am, and thus will be trying out some new ‘shifts’ this week.

Any ideas or suggestions on what has worked for others? Anything you wish you would have done differently?

Thank you!!! And congrats to all of you.

Nick
